necessity  for  it  ceases,  or  the  Surgeon  General  may  so  direct. 

59.  The  physician's  account  of  pay  due  must  be  sent  to  the  Surgeon 
General  for  payment,  vouched  by  the  certificate  of  the  commanding  offi- 
cer, that  it  is  correct  and.  agreeable  to  contract,  and  that  the  services  have 
been  duly  rendered.  But  on  the  frontier  or  in  the  field,  when  it  cannot 
conveniently  be  submitted  to  the  Surgeon  General,  the  contract  having 
already  received  his  approval,  the  account  may  be  paid  on  the  order  of 
the  commanding  officer,  not  to  exceed  the  regulated  amount,  by  a  Quar- 
termaster or  a  medical  disbursing  officer. 

60.  Private  physicians,  employed  by  contract,  will  conform  to  the  re- 
gulations, and  accordingly  will  keep  all  the  records,  and  make  the  reports, 
requisitions,  and  returns  required  from  medical  officers. 

61.  When.medical  attendance  is  required  by  officers  or  enlisted  men 
on  service,  and  the  attendance  of  a  medical  officer  cannot  be  had,  the  offi- 


MEDICAL   DEPARTMENT.        •  13 

cer,  or  if  there  be  no  officer,  then  the  enlisted  inan,  may  employ  a  pri- 
vate physician,  and  a  just  account  therefor  will  be  paid  by  the  Medical 
Bureau. 

62.  The  account  will  set  out  the  name  of  the  patient,  the  date  of  and 
charge  for  each  visit,  and  for  medicines.  The  physician  will  make  a  cer- 
tificate to  the  account  in  case  of  an  officer,  or  affidavit  in  case  of  an  en- 
listed man,  that  the  account  is  correct,  and  the  charges  are  the  customary 
charges  of  the  place. 

63.  The  officer  will  make  his  certificate,  or  the  enlisted  man  his  affida- 
vit, to  the  correctness  of  the  account,  that  he  was  on  service  at  the  place, 
and  stating  the  circumstances  preventing  him  from  receiving  the  services 
of  a  medical  officer. 

64.  When  the  charge  is  against  an  officer,  he  will  pay  the  account  if 
practicable,  and  transmit  it  to  the  Medical  Bureau  for  reimbursement.  In 
all  other  cases,  the  account  will  be  transmitted  to  the  Medical  Bureau  for 
settlement. 

65.  If  the  charge  is  against  a  deceased  officer  or  enlisted  man,  the  phy- 
sician will  make  the  affidavit,  before  required,  to  the  account,  and  that  he 
has  been  paid  no  part  of  it. 

66.  No  charges  for  consultation  fees  will  be  paid  by  the  Medical  Bu- 
reau ;  nor  will  any  account  for  medical  attendance  or  medicines  be  paid, 
if  the  officer  or  enlisted  man  be  not  on  service. 

67.  A  board  of  not  less  than  three  medical  officers  will  be  appointed 
from  time  to  time,  by  the  Secretary  of  War,  to  examine  applicants  for 
appointment  of  assistant  surgeons  in  the  regular  army,  and  assistant  sur- 
geons for  promotion.  And  no  one  shall  be  so  appointed  or  promoted 
until  so  examined  and  found  qualified. 

68.  The  board  will  scrutinize  rigidly  the  moral  habits,  professional 
acquirements,  and  physical  qualifications  of  the  candidates,  and  report 
favorably,  either  for  appointment  or  promotion,  in  no  case  admitting  of  a 
reasonable  doubt.  # 

69.  The  Secretary  of  War  will  designate  the  applicants  to  be  examined 
for  appointment  of  assistant  surgeon.  They  must  be  between  21  and  25 
years  of  age.  The  board  will  report  their  respective  merits  in  the  several 
branches  of  the  examination,  and  their  relative  merit  from  the  whole; 
agreeably  whereto,  if  vacancies  happen  within  two  years  thereafter,  they 
will  receive  appointments  and  take  rank  in  the  medical  corps. 

70.  When  an  assistant  surgeon  has  served  five  years,  he  is  subject  to 
be  examined  for  promotion.     If  he  decline  the  examination,  or  be  found 


14         -  REGULATIONS   FOR   THE 

not  qualified  by  moral  habits  or  professional  acquirements,  he  ceases  to 
be  a  medical  officer  of  the  army. 

71.  An  applicant  for  appointment  failing  at  one  examination,  may  be 
allowed  a  second  after  two  years-;  but  never  a  third. 

72.  The  Secretary  of  War  will  appoint,  on  the  recommendation  of  the 
Surgeon  General,  from  the  enlisted  men  of  the  army,  or  cause  to  be  en- 
listed, as  many  competent  hospital  stewards  as  the  service  may  require. 

73.  The  senior  medical  officer  of  a  command  requiring  a  steward,  may 
recommend  a  competent  non-commissioned  officer  or  soldier  to  be  ap- ' 
pointed,  which  recommendation  the  commanding  officer  shall  forward  to 
the  Adjutant  and  Inspector-General  of  the  Army,  with  his  remarks  there- 
on, and  with  the  remarks  of  the  company  commander. 

74.  When  no  competent  enlisted  man  can  be  procured,  the  medical  of- 
ficer will  report  the  fact  to  the  Surgeon  General.  Applications  and  testi- 
monials of  competency,  from  persons  seeking  to  be  enlisted  for  hospital 
stewards,  may  be  addressed  to  the  Surgeon  General. 

75.  The  commanding  officer  may  re-enlist  a  hospital  steward  at  the 
expiration  of  his  term  of  service,  on  the  recommendation  of  the  medical 
officer. 

76.  No  soldier,  or  citizen,  will  be  recommended  for  appointment  who 
is  not  knoicn  to  be  temperate,  honest,  and  in  every  way  reliable,  as  well 
as  sufficiently  intelligent,  and  skilled  in  pharmacy,  for  the  proper  dis- 
charge of  the  responsible  duties  likely  to  be  devolved  upon  him.  Until 
this  is  known,  he  will  be  appointed  an  acting  steward  by  the  medical  offi- 
cer, with  the  approval  of  the  commanding  officer,  and  will  be  entitled  to 
the  pay  and  allowances  of  hospital  steward. 

77.  Hospital  stewards,  appointed  by  the  Secretary  of  War,  whenever 
stationed'  in  places  whence  no  post  return  is  made  to  the  Adjutant  Gene- 
ral's office,  or  when  on  furlough,  will,  at  the  end  of  evexy  month,  report 
themselves,  by  letter,  to  the  Adjutant  and  Inspector-General  and  Surgeon 
General,  as  well  as  to  the  Medical  Director  of  the  military  department  in 
which  they  may  be  serving;  to  each  of  whom  they  will  also  report  each 
new  assignment  to  duty,  or  cjiange  of  station,  ordered  in  their  case, 
noting  carefully  the  number,  date,  and  source  of  the  order  directing  the 
same.  They  will  likewise  report  monthly,  when1  on  furlough,  to  the  me- 
dical officer  in  charge  of  the  hospital  to  which  th«y  are  attached. 

73.  The  jurisdiction  and  authority  of  courts  martial  are  the  same  with 
reference  to  hospital  stewards  as  in  the  cases  of  other  enlisted  men.  When, 
however,  a  hospital  steward  is  sentenced  by  an  inferior  court  to  be  re- 


MEDICAL   DEPARTMENT.  15 

duced  to  the  ranks,  such  sentence,  though  it  may  be  approved  by  the 
reviewing  officer,  will  not  be  carried  into  effect  until  the  case  has  been 
referred  to  the  Secretary  of  War  for  final  action.  In  these  cases  of  re- 
duction, the  application  of  the  man  for  discharge  from  .service,  though 
not  recognized  as  of  right,  will  generally  be  regarded  with  favor,  if  his 
offence  has  not  been  of  too  serious  a  nature,  and  especially  when  he  has 
not  been  recently  promoted  from  the  ranks. 

79.  As  the  hospital  stewards,  appointed  by  the  Secretary  of  War,  are 
permanently  attached  to  the  Medical  Department,  their  accounts  of  pay, 
clothing,  &c,  must  be  kept  by  the  medical  officers  under  whose  imme- 
diate direction  they  are  serving,  who  are  also  responsible  for  certified 
statements  of  such  accounts,  and  correct  descriptive  lists  of  such  stewards, 
to  accompany  them  in  case  of  transfer;  as,  also,  that  their  final  state- 
ments and  certificates  of  discharge  are  accurately  made  out,  when  they 
are  at  length  discharged  from  service.

Extracts  from  the  Regulations  for  the  Army. 

928.  No  officer  making  returns  of  property  shall  drop  from  his  return 
any  public  property  as  worn  out  or  unserviceable  until  it  has  been  con- 
demned, after  proper  inspection,  and  ordered  to  be  so  dropped. 

934.  Every  officer  having  public  money  to  account  for,  and  failing  to 
render  his  account  thereof  quarter-yearly,  with  the  vouchers  necessary  to 
its  correct  and  prompt  settlement,  within  three  months  after  the  expira- 
tion of  the  quarter,  if  resident  in  the  Confederate  States,  and  within  six 
months  if  resident  in  a  foreign  country,  will  be  promptly  dismissed  by 
the  President,  unless  he  shall  explain  the  default  to  the  satisfaction  of 
the  President. 

935.  Every  officer  entrusted  with  public  money  or  property  shall  ren- 
der all  prescribed  returns  and  accounts  to  the  bureau  of  the  department 
in  which  he  is  serving,  where  all  such  returns  and  accounts  shall  pass 
through  a  rigid  administrative  scrutiny  before  the  money  accounts  are 
transmitted  to  the  proper  offices  of  the  Treasury  Department  for  settle- 
ment. 

1040.  Officers  receiving  clothing  or  camp  and  garrison  equipage,  will 
render  quarterly  returns  of  it  to  the  Quartermaster  General. 

1111.  Issues  to  the  hospital  will  be  on  returns  by  the  medical  officer 
(Form  18),  for  such  provisions  only  as  are  actually  required  for  the  sick 
and  the  attendants.  The  cost  of  such  parts  of  the  ration  as  are  issued 
will  be  charged  to  the  hospital  at  contract  or  cost  prices,  and  the  hospital 
will  be  credited  by  the  whole  number  of  complete  rations  due  through 
the  month  at  contract  or  cost  prices ;  the  balance,  constituting  the  Hos- 
pital Fund,  or  any  portion  of  it,  may  be  expended  by  the  commissary, 
on  the  requisition  of  the  medical  officer,  in  the  purchase  of  any  article 
for  the  subsistence  or  comfort  of  the  sick,  not  authorized  to  be  otherwise 
furnished  (see  Form  19).  At  large  depots  or  general  hospitals,  this  fund 
may  be  partly  expended  for  the  benefit  of  dependent  posts  or  detach- 
ments, on  requisitions  approved  by  the  Medical  Director  or  Senior  Sur- 
geon of  the  district. 

1117.  An  extra  issue  of  fifteen  pounds  of  tallow  or  ten  of  sperm  can- 
dles, per  month,  may  be  made  to  the  principal  guard  of  each  camp  and

garrison,  on  the  order  of  the  commanding  officer.  Extra  issues  of  soap, 
candles,  and  vinegar,  are  permitted  to  the  hospital  when  the  surgeon 
does  not  avail  himself  of  the  commutation  of  the  hospital  rations,  or 
when  there  is  no  hospital  fund ;  salt,  in  small  quantities,  may  be  issued 
for  public  horses  and  cattle.  When  the  officers  of  the  Medical  Depart- 
ment find  anti-scorbutics  necessary  for  the  health  of  the  troops,  the  com- 
manding officer  may  order  issues  of  fresh  vegetables,  pickled  onions, 
sourkrout,  or  molasses,  with  an  extra  quantity  of  rice  and  vinegar.  (Po- 
tatoes are  usually  issued  at  the  rate  of  one  pound  per  ration,  and  onions 
at  the  rate  of  three  bushels  in  lieu  of  one  of  beans.)  Occasional  issues 
(extra)  of  molasses  are  made — two  quarts  to  one  hundred  rations — and 
of  dried  apples  of  from  one  to  one  and  a  half  bushels  to  one  hundred 
rations.  Troops  at  sea  are  recommended  to  draw  rice  and  an  extra  is- 
sue of  molasses  in  lieu  of  beans.  When  anti-scorbutics  are  issued,  the 
medical  officer  will  certify  the  necessity,  and  the  circumstances  which 
cause  it,  upon  the  abstract  of  extra  issues.
